[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MySchoolDC will publish a list of schools with a short waitlist, but I suggest you make the MySchoolDC account and add everything within a reasonable commute.

Tell us what kind of school you'd like and we can make suggestions. Are you planning to stay here long-term?[/quote]

Thanks.

We are planning to stay in DC long-term, although maybe sell the condo and move into a row house (although housing prices these days, yikes). But no desire to move outside of the city. We just spent 6 years in a very suburban southern city and hate it. I want to be able to ditch at least 1 of the cars.

As for the type of school, the more outside time, the better, although I realize that's a big ask. Kid is very curious, really likes to dig into topics of interest; also in accelerated reading and math, and while I would like them to continue to be challenged, I don't want some crazy pressure cooker environment. I used to keep up with which schools did expeditionary, Montessori, etc., but we moved away when kid was 1, so I stopped being quite so invested in keeping track of which schools might be a best fit. And I know a lot can change in 6 years.[/quote]

Well, you could look at Lee Montessori. That would hold you through 6th grade if necessary, and it's in a nice place to live. Two Rivers is supposedly "expeditionary" but it's also a hot mess, so.... Same goes for Shining Stars Montessori.

Perhaps you'd like the better schools on Capitol Hill such as Maury and Ludlow-Taylor.

If you can afford the Jackson-Reed feeder group in Ward 3, I'd go for that. Then you'll be set through high school. I'm sure you can find a row home.[/quote]
